This new decal sheet from Impact Decals includes markings for four different aircraft that flew with VMA-225/VMA(AW)-225 Jet Aircraft from 1958 - 1972.

  • The first aircraft is a A-4D-2 Skyhawk BuNo. 142731 in 1959 with VMA-225, CVG-10, USS Essex (CVA 9) during a Mediterranean cruise. 

  • The second aircraft is a A-4C Skyhawk BuNo. 147779 in 1965 with VMA-225, MAG-12, Chu Lai, Vietnam. 
  • The third aircraft is a A-6A Intruder BuNo. 149990 in 1966 with VMA(AW)-225, MAG-2, MCAS Cherry Point, NC.

The instructions are clear and include 3or 4 views of each aircraft.  The decals are beautifully printed on 2 decal sheets.  

This sheet features two of the most well known USMC attack aircraft that flew during the Vietnam War era.  It's good to see jets from VMA-225/VMA(AW)-225.  If you are looking for USMC markings for your 1/48 Revell Monogram A-6 Intruder or your 1/48 Hasegawa A-4 Skyhawk, then this is a decal sheet well worth checking out.

I would like to thank Impact Decals for providing me with this review sample.
